First United Methodist Church is a vibrant community of faith in the heart of Rainbow City where all are welcomed and loved unconditionally, nurtured in spiritual growth, and equipped for vital mission in our community. We welcome you to see for yourself what makes Rainbow City FUMC a great place to worship, grow, and serve.

The heartbeat of our lives in Christ, in worship we experience the glorious presence of God in our midst and rededicate ourselves to purposes of God. At Rainbow City FUMC we value experiential worship that uses all the senses to draw worshipers into a meaningful connection with God.

To serve is to give back, to live out of the gifts and graces that are uniquely ours for the sake of God's purposes. We have many opportunities for service both in and outside the church. Find a place where you can plug in and make a difference.

“God so loved the world that he gave...,” says John 3:16. This familiar verse underscores that giving and generosity emerge from love. God has given abundantly to us because he loves us beyond all measure. The question is, how will we respond to that love.

June Mission Focus

Christmas Shoe Boxes

It’s Christmas in June and time to collect items for UMCOR Christmas Shoeboxes. This year we are collecting items to furnish 125 boxes to children in Central and South America. We are able to do 25 more this year because we got a lot of leftover items from the Mountain Lake District Office last year.

There will be a table outside the Mission Depot for the boxes. If you want to purchase for a boy get a BLUE card or if you prefer to buy for a girl get a PINK card. If you would like to buy things like pencils, bath soap, bath cloths, jump ropes etc. get a WHITE card. Each card is valued about $10.00, so take as many cards as you can. We also wrote suggestions on where the best buys are. Also, there are some envelopes on the table if you want to give money instead and let the Mission Team shop for you. Please put your items on the table inside the Mission Depot by Sunday, June 30th.

There will be a work day scheduled in July to assemble the shoeboxes. EVERYONE is needed to help in this wonderful project. Please be in prayer for this mission, sometimes this is the only gift these children receive for Christmas.
